Seaweed processing using industrial single-mode cavity microwave heating: a preliminary investigation.

چکیده
A single-cavity microwave heating system has been designed and fabricated for microwave-assisted extraction of carrageenans from seaweed. The system comprises a single mode (TE101) waveguide fitted with power and temperature controls, together with a continuous-flow-recycle reactor operating at atmospheric pressure. The system has been tested by extraction of E. cottonii and E. spinosum in aqueous organic solvents. Even without purification, the extraction products were found to have virtually identical FTIR and 13C and 1H NMR spectra to the reference samples of kappa- and iota-carrageenan, respectively. The principal advantages of the microwave system are substantial reduction of extraction time and low consumption of organic solvents.

Investigation of microwave-assisted concrete recycling using single-particle testing
Microwave heating stands as a strong candidate for selective liberation of multiphase materials like concrete. It takes advantage of the differences in thermal, dielectric and mechanical properties of each of the components to create stress gradients that can lead to grain boundary fracture and embrittlement. The work and results reported are concerned with selective liberation of concrete’s ra...
متن کاملMicrowave sterilization of sliced beef in gravy in 7-oz trays
This research was to investigate the feasibility for developing a short-time sterilization protocol for a highly inhomogeneous food prepackaged in polymeric trays using 915 MHz microwave (MW) energy. A 915-MHz, single-mode, 10-kW pilot-scale MW system developed at Washing State University was used for this study. The inhomogeneous food consisted of sliced beef and gravy packaged in 7-oz polymer...
متن کامل3D Microwave Print Head Approach for Processing Lunar and Mars Regolith
Introduction: NASA is evaluating various methods to process lunar and Mars regolith in preparation for future missions. We have performed earlier studies [1-3] to understand the mechanism associated with the lunar regolith’s excellent absorbtion of microwave energy that is useful for microwave processing. Using an upgraded microwave heating facility we have shown that the previously observed [4...

متن کاملCavity quantum electrodynamics
The simplest model in quantum optics deals with a single two-level atom interacting with a single mode of the radiation field. This ideal situation is implemented in Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics experiments, using high quality microwave or optical cavities as photon boxes. It provides a test bench for fundamental quantum processes and a promising ground for quantum information processing.
